Cycling



The Haut-Giffre valley offers many possibilities for cycling circuits of varying difficulty: from the simple walk to the ascent of famous passes of the Tour de France.

🔴 The Boucle du Giffre: 42 Km and 430 m of cumulative climb. Easy route with attractive landscape, at the bottom of the valley.

🔴 Samoëns-Cirque du Fer à Cheval and back.
Superb 30 km and 580m climb, on the edge of the Giffre. The reward: the grandiose site of the site and its multiple waterfalls.


🔴 The Môle Tour.
Very nice race of 80 Km with two «serious» climbs that of Ayse and that of Huot. The bonus: the break at the edge of the lake of Môle.


🔴 The Col de Joux-Plane:
50 Km and 1620 m altitude difference. This pass is part with the Galibier, the Izoard, the climb of the Alpe d'Huez, the Mont Ventoux and the Tourmalet of the most difficult passes of the Tour de France. With an average slope of more than 7% with 10% passes, it goes without saying that its climb is reserved for highly trained cyclists. Wonderful view on the Mont Blanc.Very difficult.

Speleology



Samoëns is a very high place of the French speleology because this village held, not long ago, the world record of depth for two chasms whose entrance is located in the sector of Folly:

To be noted:

The Jean Bernard Chasm (depht 1602 m)
The Mirolda Chasm (depht 1733 m).

The particular geology of the Sixt Fer-à-cheval Reserve brings its share of sinkholes, caves, lapiaz....
So there are many places to discover the basement of the valley whether you are a beginner or a confirmed speleologist or even an emeritus.
